🚀 UAH students are helping build the future of lunar exploration — one rocket test at a time!

The team got hands-on experience conducting three rocket-motor firing tests on a prototype lunar landing pad designed to redirect rocket exhaust and protect future lunar infrastructure.

Working alongside faculty researchers and industry partners at Linc Research Inc., these future engineers are tackling real-world aerospace challenges and contributing to technology that could support NASA’s long-term plans for the Moon. 🌕

Next stop: a larger prototype headed to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center for further testing!
